Sugar-Based Polymers

Biobased monomers and degradable polymer frameworks derived from sugars and other natural product feedstocks.

Natural Product Feedstocks for Degradable Materials

Sugar-based polymer projects use biobased monomers and natural product feedstocks to build degradable materials with useful functional properties while reducing reliance on petrochemical starting points.

  • Sugar- and natural product-derived monomers
  • Hydrolytically degradable polymer frameworks
  • Sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics
